mozilla takes donations, but they don't fund Firefox development with that money. that's usually what people have against it.
The way you word it suggests that donations to Mozilla are expressly forbidden from being spent on Firefox. Which I doubt is true.
But yes, many would prefer to donate specifically for Firefox development than into a general pool for Mozilla to allocate as they choose.
as i understand it, the money goes to the foundation, and it's the corporation that develops the browser. so it's probably not strictly forbidden, but it does imply that the money is not for browser development.
